Details
This large porcelain comport is by Chamberlain's of Worcester and is decorated with a hand painted scene of Fancy Birds in the manner of George Davis, the colours of which are still vibrant.
The bowl is supported by four lions paw legs onto a square, stepped base with canted corners and concave sides. The underside of the bowl is decorated with gilding as are the legs and base. The diameter of the bowl is 284 mm (11.25 inches) and it stands 148 mm (5.75 inches) high.
It is a substantial piece weighing in at 1.69 kg (3.72 pounds). Overall its condition is very good, with some very minor loss of the gilding, mainly to the high spots, a 5 mm (.25 inch) long firing crack to the base of the foot rim of the bowl where it joins the base, and some minor glaze faults ex the kiln.
Some of these faults are barely noticeable to the naked eye. It is unmarked but the gadrooned edge is typical of Chamberlains. Examples can be seen in Colour Plate XII and plate 152, amongst others, in "Chamberlain-Worcester Porcelain" by Geoffrey Godden 1992. It would date from around 1820.
